Article Synopsis
- In March 2020, France and other countries implemented lockdowns to control COVID-19, which led to extended home confinement for children and an increase in domestic accidents.
- The study collected data from nine emergency departments in France to analyze the incidence of these accidents during the lockdown, focusing on admissions from March 17 to May 11, 2020, and compared it to data from previous years.
- Results indicated a rise in emergency department visits for domestic accidents, particularly among boys and younger children (ages 2-5), with a notable increase in injuries from falls and fractures, highlighting the need for enhanced parental guidance on safety during such measures.
Background: Falls in older people are a major public health problem due to associated morbidity and mortality. Their origin is most often multifactorial.
Objective, Design And Subjects: The objective of the present study, called ChuPaDom, was to identify patterns or profiles of home fallers (HF) - understood here as people who fall in their place of residence - among a sample of persons aged 65 and over who were hospitalized after a fall, and to study their association with falling-induced injuries using data from the ChuPAdom study.

Population-based epidemiological data are lacking in France and scarce elsewhere. We accessed the feasibility of monitoring PP nationwide in France in this context, using a nationwide existing database, the French National Health Insurance Information System.
